Refrigerate safely with Project CHILL!

Keeping the temperature in your refrigerator at 40°F or below helps to slow bacteria growth in your food. Although your fridge may feature a temperature control, it’s important to use a thermometer to know the exact temperature inside your fridge. Protect yourself and your family from foodborne bacteria by purchasing a quality refrigerator thermometer from Farberware, available in the Housewares section and Deli Department of your local store. Give bacteria the cold shoulder with Project CHILL, and visit FightBac.org for more food safety tips and information.
